6 reviews for Poly APC-43 EHS Cable | Poly 38350-13 or HP 85Q55AA

  1. Tom

    Great product.

  2. GadgetMan911

    Needed this cable to make a headset work on our new Cisco phone system

  3. DB

    No configuration necessary. Truly plug and play.

  4. Kate

    Bought this device so that the phone could be answered while away from the desk. So, far have successfully tested this device’s capability to answer 100 feet away. It’s been GREAT even without a straight shot to the main console or base, it has allowed me to answer calls without a problem. Seems to function very reliably and am very glad that this was purchased for those circumstances when one is called away from the desk.

  5. Robin

    Adding the ability to not have to have a “lifter” for the headset allows for no extra parts to break down. Will add flexibility to my job.

  6. Ryan

    Easy setup fast shipping, no complaints.
